News 11/30 - Holy cow a new species!

[Shifty]

That was random.

There's something about them that seems unneopets-ish. I think its the eyes.
And it seems to be a bit stiff in the crouching pose.
It's cute and I like it, but only way i'll decide to keep one is if I get it from the lab... I don't want to adopt a 4th pet.

Ugh. It's so...ugly. It's front arms seem way too small, and the whole thing just looks like a cross between a Kyrii (which I love) and a Yurble (which I do not love at all).

The background behind it is just so creative, too. "Xweetoks are furry, forest-dwelling creatures who enjoy active games such as tag. They are very quick and love to be chased." Okay, so...how does this distinguish it from the other forest dwelling Neopets?

I guess my first instinct was, "Oh, dear God, this isn't the April Fools pet, is it?" Is it? O.o

OMG, when I first saw the pictures i was like "neat! now you can paint your Usuls with Kyrii Paint Brush!!" and then "oh wait... I think its painting your Kyrii with Usul Paint Brush!!"

and only then i figured out what it really is. Kyriiusul named Xweetok. (i don't get this name too... is it supposed to be a gesture to the chinese players or something?)

[Robert]

Eh, I don't really like it. It is too wocky/usul/Kyrii-ish for me. I don't like any of those three, and I dno't like this one. Oh well, I don't need another pet, so it is no big deal

[Stars_of_Night]

I think it is alright. I made one. See i just think that it was out of no where. Nice job TNT for keeping it secret and hidden. lol. It caught me by suprise.

[aliboy]

The eyes are too animieish for my liking , not my favourite pet

[Sylence]

I think it looks like a chipmunk

[huesland]

TNT sure did manage to keep this one a seceret, didn't they?

[abandonedcouch]

well, that certainly was a surprise.

it looks like a pokemon critter, imo...but i still like it. kudos to TNT for keeping this one secret, AND giving it a name that doesn't end in I.

[Sylence]

we all been to busy with the ldp and such bol but then even they pull one over once in a while

[Scythemantis]

I think Neopets ARE like that. They have a cute factor now. Cartoons do that sometimes, I guess.

Your right, NOW they are, but they weren't before. A Chia doesn't look all cute, a peophin (didn't/doesn't) look all cute.

I hate the 'Cute' factor, this wasn't started as a kids game, but more of a young teen/teen/young adult game. Where we could have Wine that wasn't APPLE JUICE.

Get what I'm trying to say?

Huh? Neopets started out 100% cute. When I joined there were no mutants or haunted woods or any re-draw colors. They've ALWAYS been based on the cute factor.

As for the species, I don't like that it's yet another nondescript mammal, but as far as nondescript mammals go, it's probably one of the best. Doesn't look like a rodent to me...more like a skunk/polecat with a big, blunt head. Or a bushbaby.

[Pixa]

When I saw this, I just laughed out loud...

It scares me, I like the Wocky and Kyrii... but little old Xweetok, I do not like. It's just rather freakish, and those front legs are scary.

I cannot rest easy tonight.

[krisgp]

My eyes! They burn! Why TNT why??

This pet looks like a wocky that got in a bad way with a kyrii and usul morphing potion! Back evil being back!

[Kitten Medli]

Its eyes are beautiful. Too bad all of my accounts are full of pets. :(

Some of us young adults happen to like cute. And I fail to see how having virtual apple juice makes the game experience so much different than virtual wine.

Yes yes. I agree with chu.

The title of this topic is incorrect. It's spelled "Kau"

It was very... sudden. Especially since they were supposed to release Lutaris and the April Fool's pet first.
